The original Spanish and its English translation are on facing pages, a format that encourages comprehension and increases enjoyment in language learning. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe charming fable about Nature was written 100 years ago by the poet Gabriela Mistral, the only female Spanish-language winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. The text talks about diversity, and how narrow-minded changes can upset the balance of nature. The magical illustrations were inspired by the poetic text, with many references to mythology in different cultural settings. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eDespite its apparent na?vet?, the tone is literary and quite beautiful.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis work would be ideal for classroom use in schools and universities, as well as language learners of all ages. I also imagine the audience to be a parent reading with a child, using the images to explain or answer questions, and exploring the bilingual text. Children like to go back and re-read books that make them think, with images that trigger their imagination or leave doubts. This should be one of those books.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominique Lafourcade Se?oret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 398231304X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783982313047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lafourcade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Dominique Lafourcade Se?oret","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46602839458047,"sku":"9783982313047","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd5edd25-b1f2-47d6-ba14-ec919bf11794.jpg?v=1739695445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-the-reeds-became-hollow-dominique-lafourcade-seoret-9783982313047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
